Why do American cops always shoot to kill? Pretty sick desu.

Here in Japan, police are required to fire a warning shot first. That usually does the job. Even then, I think police should try to shoot the criminal in the hand, not fire with the intent of killing.

America has worse criminals.

>They carry guns
You fire a warning shot, they wont.
>they on drugs
Some criminals take up to 9 bullets to take down.
>america has a fucked medical sue system
If i break into your house and you blow my legs off i can sue you for my medical bills and other damadges. If i were you, id shoot to kill because I'm not paying half a mil because i defended my own home.
>>
>>33410082
Firing a warning shot when there is little to no chance the suspect has a gun.

'You try to shoot for the hand' Homes, you only shoot to kill. When he falls over and is no longer a threat (not always the same thing) you do what you can to save his life but if the situation has escalated to the point guns are drawn it's because threat to the officer's life is imminent. I don't know about Japan but over here cops (are only supposed to) draw down on armed and aggressive suspects and some's life is in very real, non-theoretical danger.

Also, yes >>33410096, we have much more vicious criminals then you do.

US cops seem to be unable to de-escalate situations. Instead of talking sense and calming people down, they bark orders like dogs.

They come off as aggressive, confrontational and eager to draw and fire as soon as they "feel in danger".

How is it that cops in other countries have adopted the "Shoot the suspect in the leg" -methods just fine and save dozens of suspect lives yearly by doing it, but you seem to be unable to do it?

MUH SHOOT TO KILL, MUH ARTERIES, MUH CENTER MASS.

Is it the poor training your officers receive?
I mean, your cops only study and train for 6-10 months, compared to 2-3 years in the rest of the civilized world.
>>
>>33410168
This is usually done when a suspect is holding a knife or similiar weapon and is standing still, after he has been cornered by the police.

A regular officer should be able to hit a suspects leg from 40 feet.
>>
>>33410176
You say this like your county is even the size of one of our states. Sone departments make europoor departments look like filth, some make saudi police look respectable. It's almost as if our country is the size of your continent. Combine this with our hard left media that literally only reports the fuck ups and it quickly looks like shit.
>>
>>33410162
You are actually implying that every ricochet would hit a bystander?
And that every suspect would simply ignore the shot that was fired.

Cops that are trained properly, know to actually check for civilians that might be standing in the backround.

This is so basic shit that its taught to conscripts in most militaries.

Do your cops receive poorer training than conscripts?

>>33410185
If a warning shot is going to be what de-escalates the situation you didn't need a warning shot in the first place.

Use a fucking tazer like the rest of the ddeveloped world.

Firearms should only ever be fired to take a life, and as a last resort (which is how it works in the U.S. if you stop taking CNN's unbelievably biased reporting seriously).

My father in law was a Detective in Nara Prefecture for 40 years. Told me some shit that I considered (as an Ausfag) unusual:
Normal beat cops don't even have guns (like Poms).
Cops who have guns only have .22 revolvers.
Riot Police are a different creature who will push your shit in Tiannamen Square style.
Detectives would often go to dinner with Yakuza to compare notes and negotiate turf.
Most violent, but small scale crime, is treated by disciplinary action if within Yakuza, or on their turf. They'd keep the peace well, if the market is steady for them.

Sidearm is viewed as Lethal Force only.

Lethal force is only to be used when other options have failed.

The goal of using lethal force is to neutralize the threat as quickly as possible.

Therefore when sidearms are used they are used to kill the suspect quickly and thoroughly.

This is why you see reports of suspects getting shot an absurd number of times, training says when the shooting starts officers should magdump into the target. Get a handful of officers all involved in stand-off turned shooting and you have a suspect with 50+ holes in him. If you wanted to change this in the US you would have to either stop viewing the sidearm as a purely lethal force option, which is very unlikely.
>>
>>33410176
Don't generalize you gigantic faggot. There are also plenty videos of US cops deescalating the situation very professionally and keeping their cool while the suspect is extremely annoying (I am being detained?), and there are also videos of European cops brutalizing suspects.

>>33410209
In todays world there's no reason for it not to be leathal force only. Police have pepper spray, batons, dogs, and tazers to work with. Usually the tazer and dogs are enough to stop anyone who isn't going to start a shootout anyways.

Cops who use a firearm to wound are ones who lack the proper equipment to deal with a suspect.

>>33410176

No one adopted that polcy. At best it's shoot in the pelvis.

>Makes an apples to oranges comparison in training continuums and practices

In a single fiscal year an average soldier would have far more opportunities for training compared compared to your average patrol officer.

It's not whether or not they have the training, it's how much funding they get to sustain skill reinforcement and areas of focus for the upper hierarchy.

>wew a solid argument
>better call it bait

Firearms are used as the last option here too.
Yet before taking the life of the suspect, the cops try to neutralize the suspect without firing fatal shots to the chest / head area.

See, we care about the lives of the suspects too. Our cops aren't overweight pussies who fear for their lives and magdump into the first nigger who has a hand inside his waistband.

It's because they eliminate such candidates with IQ, personality and fitness tests.

"Shoot in the leg" is a bullshit meme that needs to die. Having done Service Match for 5 years, I couldn't imagine any cop pulling off such a shot with the 4 hrs every 6 months practice they get (in Queensland, Ausfalia).

Half the cops we watched practice (we shared a range), hated shooting, and went home the moment they could.

If a QLD cop shot at me, it would be a headshot, by accident, aiming for my big toe.
>>
>>33410234
Ok, let's imagine a gun is meant to be used as lethal and non-lethal force depending on the situation. You're dealing with a suspect where a non-lethal shoot is authorized. Using your Robocop-like skills, you aim for the leg as he's running at you. You hit the femoral artery. He bleeds out and dies.

Do you go to jail? After all, a lethal shoot wasn't justified, and you tried to just shoot to wound. But shit happens.
>>
>>33410241
wew, your cops are burger-tier when it comes to training time.

I don't mean range time. I mean the time spent in the academy. 2-3 years is sufficient to teach people skills and creating actual public servants, instead of armed militia with a blue uniform.

Nara is mostly rural, with a heavy tourist industry. I've been to my wife's house there 11 times. Only time I saw armed police was when Hu Jintao was on a state visit to an old shrine.

I agree, I'd almost rather a faggot katana, than a 22 six shooter (fuck hopefully they were 10 chambered).

I have zero idea what other prefecture police do.

Every bullet you fire goes somewhere. Warning shots are a bad idea, it endangers innocent bystanders even a significant distance away depending on where the shot is fired. A gun is for lethal force, 'flesh wounds' like a shot to the leg can easily kill if they hit an artery. Hitting a hand is an especially difficult shot, especially if the target is moving. Also, good luck getting a cop to make a shot like that, especially in places like NYC where they're hobbled with 12 pound trigger pulls.

That being said, American cops are a bit too quick to draw a weapon thanks to years of hero worship, a too trusting court system, Dinkheller fever, your good old good faith corruption, etc. I certainly don't want gangbangers or mass shooters to get the draw on them, but police by and large could afford to learn better de-escalation techniques, and the court system should actually start caring about those bill of rights thingies we like, instead of inventing bullshit like 'qualified immunity' or gutting the exclusionary rule.
>>
>>33410176
Our prison system is bursting at the seams.

The cost to support someone in prison.

Our slow fuck court system is filled with pointless dumb shit and some legitimate serious shit in between.

Same goes for attorneys, the cost of legal fees on both sides, and the competent and grossly incompetent attorneys that straddle that $$$ boundry. Not to mention the whole civil court the families or whoeverthefuck wants to take you through afterwards for monetary reasons.

I am all for rehabilitation for people who really do need that "2nd chance" or wake up call, but overall, we got enough bullshit draining our taxes to really give a fuck to rehabilitating a criminal that gives a shit about improving themselves.

The average american has six inches of fat covered with a hard crusty surface. Inbetween there are layers of hardened tissue from all the sitting he does. These layers are found on his entire body. This alone can stop your typical 9mm rounds carried by the police.

The mans arteries are lubed so well that they can actively move inside the skin and dodge incoming threats such as bullets or lawn darts.

You wouldn't be able to hit an artery even if you wanted to.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but the US has a huge criminal nigger population. Thanks to conditioning from their own community and the MSM, they think it's okay to disobey lawful commands and fight back. They are often armed, and have no interest in "de-escalation" unless that means the Cop apologizing for interrupting their crime and telling them to have a pleasant evening.

Yes, cops bark orders. They're dealing with subjects that are lower than dogs, so..

>>See, we care about the lives of the suspects too.

You know literally nothing about Law Enforcement in the US, the criminal underclass of the US, or life in the US in general. You are either an incredibly naive fool or a troll. You want to see police brutality, go watch some liveleak of Brazil law enforcement.

He's right about de-escalating although he's retarded about "shoot them in the leg"

I've seen many videos of a cop stopping to do some investigation and someone who has nothing to do with the investigation merely rubs the cop the wrong way and the cop ends up beating the shit out of them and arresting them for some trumped up charge like "obstructing an investigation" or "resisting arrest", the videos alone wouldn't be a problem if they didn't always receive full support of their actions from their police departments.

Legal/Moral arguments:

When you draw your firearm you are doing so to stop the commission of a violent felony likely to cause death. I don't understand the moral qualms you have with using lethal force on violent criminals in order to prevent loss of life. Also using a firearm is de jure deadly force whether you aim at their pinky toe or their forehead.

Practical argument:

In terms of stopping an attack the most effective target areas on the human body or any animal really is the upper thorax or head. Leg or arm shots often aren't immediately debilitating, especially in cases with determined attackers or someone in a state of excited delirium. Such shots would also be difficult with all of the anxiety and andrenaline associated with a gun fight, this isn't a casual shoot at the range.

No cop in his right mind would fire a warning shot. There is extreme liability in where that bullet ends up. If you aren't persuaded by the presence of the gun, maybe you shouldn't be in the gene pool any longer.
>>
>>33410082
American cops have no concept of force deescalation at all. They're trained to see everyone they encounter as a PCP-addled nigger wanting to rip their throats out and often times themselves escalate situations to the point where deadly force would be "authorized".

Recently I've noticed quite a few people getting shot for pulling out their IDs or wallets as the cops request. Cops are trained to magdump anybody that pulls out any slightly squared object in a manner that spooks the officers.

That being said, it's a two-pronged issue. Niggers are absolutely horrid to deal with on a daily basis and are extremely violent which often do warrant justifiable usage of lethal force. On the other hand cops are so poorly trained that situations where cops shoot people either on accident, in crossfire, or shoot people with phones/wallets/IDs/keys/etc are becoming more commomplace.

On the topic of a warning shot, the fear of ricochet could be mitigated with the theory of having a frangible round in the chamber.
The only issue is that calls a couple of variables to arise.
-Officer forgot to load a frangible first
-Frangible rounds are finicky, especially if used in revolvers

Argument of warning shot effectiveness aside and all that jazz.

Because it's called law enforcement, not "law gentle suggestion", and many times it's idiots that bring it on themselves like people pointing guns at cops, real fucking smart.

You also cannot make blanket statements about law enforcement departments/agencies anymore than someone can make statements about the behavior of a racial group.

>>
>>33411146
No, you cannot control it 100% that the suspect won't die of the gunshot wound to the extremity, just like you can't control him falling and hitting his dead and dying of brain hemorrhage after being tased or him choking to death because you used OC on him and he happened to be deathly allergic to paprika.

The point is that the suspect is less likely to die of a shot to an extremity than having his torso ventilated, so it is a natural part of the force continuum.

Uhh yes I can. One is entirely dependant on choice and is selective in whom can be included. And because they are selective, they look for and promote certain behaviors, like stealing your shit and saying they "suspected" you of a crime. Or beating you for not offering to suck their dick publicly. Or murdering you for attempting to comply with orders under threat of death. Incidents that are NEVER punished because they are expected and encouraged.

You don't have an argument, anon. If you have a suspect who you need to apprehend, you use whatever tool best fits the job. Obviously a gun is more dangerous than using a baton, but if using a gun is more applicable in the situation, you use that.

A gun is a tool just like everything else on your belt, and any other distinction is purely arbitrary. Yes, your courts don't agree, but that is literally the only valid argument you have.

how do you plan to do this? have cops brandish at suspects to make them stop? we've already determined that shooting extremities is retarded.

the officer's sidearm is not a tool for apprehension in the same way a taser is. it is a tool to stop a threat in the quickest, most effective manner. if that threat survives to make it to trial, well, that's neat. if they end up in a plastic bag, that's fine too.

plus, in your mind, once you have officers start using firearms to just stop people without even firing, their weight in peoples' minds goes down.

and, with the current culture, you could not implement this "use a gun if you need to stop somebody even if its not deadly force" overnight because of connotations of getting shot from cops pulling their guns.

This is not training issue it is legal and game theory issue. Strictly from cops survival point of view is more safe to mugdump everyone who pulls out something suspicious out of pocket. Better kill ten innocents than miss one police attacker with gun and get hit by his fire. As law gives free pass to police justifiable shooting they have literally no reasons to not shot innocents. It is opposite.

Yes, if it's reasonable. If you have a suspect who's known to be armed, then preparing to use firearms is a good idea.

No, we haven't. Some anons have presented their opinions, but that doesn't make it true.

First of all, leave the goalposts right where you found them. This is about firearms in general, not just pistols.
Second, you're right, it's a lot better. You don't need to get as close, and you're not completely hosed if you miss.
>it is a tool to stop a threat in the quickest, most effective manner.
It is that, but not just that. While hitting an arm or a leg with a pistol is a long shot, warning shots are perfectlu valid use of a service pistol.
>plus, in your mind, once you have officers start using firearms to just stop people without even firing, their weight in peoples' minds goes down.
Sometimes, preparing to use a lot of force from the get-go means that you don't have to use any force. Don't be so absolute.
>and, with the current culture, you could not implement this "use a gun if you need to stop somebody even if its not deadly force" overnight because of connotations of getting shot from cops pulling their guns.

Please just fucking stop, dude. You're literally being worse than an autistic sperglord reddit user IN REAL LIFE. You're fucking dumb.

Shooting an appendage is EXTREMELY hard. Like shooting a fucking tank with a pistol, while its moving, at 200m's. Its too fucking hard to hit JUST his arm or leg. And when the fag pulls something out of his pocket, im not taking the risk its not a gun. I'm going to shoot 2 center mass and one to the head. Fuck that guy.

>Sometimes, preparing to use a lot of force from the get-go means that you don't have to use any force.
What the fuck are you talking about? This isnt even the most retarded thing you've said yet, either. Fucking idiot. Cops already have that mentality. But it really doesnt matter, does it? Since a nigger is just going to pull his gun and shoot at an officer at least 10 times around the country today. And yet, you're still saying to just shoot a warning shot.

I already went over that. Yes, it's possible that the suspect dies over a leg wound, but it's less likely he dies than if he gets shot in the torso.

There is not a single ltl tool that is perfectly safe. It's the exact reason why you call them "less than lethal" instead of "nonlethal", for crying out loud.

I have been talking about warning/wounding shots, I didn't purposefully specify what weapon they're delivered with. It's true that in most situations, attempting a shot to the extremity with a pistol would be unfeasible.

>>33412125
I am from the Netherlands and this is police training as well. You shoot for extremities first, when possible.This is because the majority of shootings happen in so called "stand offs" here, because it is usually mentally unstable people that have no weapons or bad intentions towards the police.
>>
>>33412125
Stop sperging out like a retarded teenager if you want to be taken seriously.

Shots to extremities are done routinely all over the world as a natural part of the force continuum. Are there situations where they should not be attempted? Absolutely. Does that mean that all shots to extremities are right out? Absolutely not.

>What the fuck are you talking about? This isnt even the most retarded thing you've said yet, either. Fucking idiot. Cops already have that mentality. But it really doesnt matter, does it? Since a nigger is just going to pull his gun and shoot at an officer at least 10 times around the country today. And yet, you're still saying to just shoot a warning shot.
I'm sorry for your disability.

Now, if you get a call which involves a likely armed suspect, you go in with the heavy gear just in case. Just the show of force may well de-escalate the situation where not being prepared enough may end up with the suspect (or officers) shot.

You seem to be misunderstanding something here (or a lot), I'm not advocating any requirements to fire a warning shot before shots to centre mass or anything of the sort. It's merely a part in the force continuum; sometimes you have to skip steps and go straight to the last one. Just like you don't go out and try to mace the suspect every time before using a K9, you similarly don't always have to shoot a warning/wounding shot before you ventilate the suspect's vitals.

Most cops here carry multiple non-lethals such as OC Spray, baton, or Taser and are training to fight hand-to-hand. If a policeman ever feels the need to draw his gun, he has determined the only way to get someone to stop is to shoot them if they continue acting aggressively. If a cop pulls his gun on you, you fucked up big-time by threatening the use of lethal force against that officer or someone else. Warning shots waste time and endangers other people. The safest place for that bullet to go is center-mass of the bad guy because it will 1) stop the threat and 2) provide a more likely chance that the bullet does not go flying into anyone else. So when non-lethals will not adequately stop the threat, shooting to kill is safest for the officer and those around him.
>>
Most of the time niggers don't give a shit if the cop fires a warning shot, they'll just run away (because they'll win the ghetto lottery if they get shot in the back) or return fire (because rap videos have told them they can win shootouts and that killing cops will earn them respect).

I agree that cops here in burgerland couldn't de-escalate their way off the second floor of a mall, but "shoot to wound" is just a meme proliferated by noguns.

I agree that cops in the US should have a longer training period.

Aiming for a rapidly moving extremity? Bullshit. Center mass is taught for a good reason, because it's the easiest target to hit, and it's most likely to actually STOP the threat.

That being said, US police dept's are way too fucking intense. The whole "militarization of police" thing isn't a liberal meme. I live in fucking white suburbia, picket fence and pussy lace curtains; they kick sand in you're face and shit during academy and taze you multiple times. Police in the US are conditioned for aggression.

You definitely need to be aggressive when Jamal and Raytheon are acting like dindus. But community orientation is often overlooked, in the shadow of ticket quotas and budget battles, and the police unions jewing city hall.

I would support a two year training program for cops. It's moronic throwing dumb aggressive mid 20's kids into the streets with less than a years experience. But police are needed, and they have a right to defend themselves; if they are met with a deadly threat, they shouldn't be crucified for using appropriate force. And shooting some nut waving a knife at the local plaza in the torso is completely appropriate.

I will probly catch hell for this. But....

I'm a CO in state prison and I agree with this as far as making cops less trigger happy. I respect the police and what they do and the dangers they face on the streets. But for me I'm so used to defending against violent inmates with nothing more than OC and a baton. Usually the situation pops off so quick that those weapons can't be accessed and it's strictly hand to hand. That said to say when transporting inmates or what have you I know my side arm is there but I am assessing how to stop the situation hand to hand while retaining my fire arm. I can't tell you how many cops I've seen go pale when I take their gun at the gatehouse.
I think they need to focus more on weapon retention and take aways and initiating check and pass techniques. As law enforcement we aren't allowed to be "scared" but it appears that way when cops are so skiddish they grab their gun at every rapid movement. No you never know what's gonna happen but I feel that further training in situational awareness and fine combed risk assessment is needed.

Just my .02

ALSO, warning shots are a liability and likelihood of being in a situation that would dictate one is rare. Weapon out, threat down there is no in-between. It's "shoot to kill" not "shoot to scare" and if that mother fucker don't drop at the warning you are about to see the God damn Flash in real life.

AND,
No appendage shots only center mass/spinal corridor. Kill shots are because if you shoot and paralyze or mame the target you will be sued for cruel and unusual punishment.....why? you ask....because LEO'S are trained professionals and we are trained shoot to kill, so if you shoot and don't kill you were either trying to mame him on purpose or your firearm abilities will be questioned as flawed.

they're actually just trained to shoot center of mass. that maximizes the chance of hitting and disabling the bad guy and minimizes the chance of missing and endangering the public.

secondly: in the US, if you employ a gun, it's considered use of lethal force even if you aim for the leg or whatever.

in other cases, you'd resort to less lethals and subject control devices, since they can be used more liberally.

as for warning shots: I know you're trolling, but warning shots endanger the public. they're illegal.

Firearms are deadly weapons. Our cops carry tasers, pepper spray and batons for when lethal force is not warranted. If you consider it "civilized" to maim a person with a deadly weapon when you have less-lethal weapons which leave no permanent damage at your disposal, you're pretty fucked in the head desu.
